The Los Angeles Lakers continue to suffer minor bumps and bruises to start the season. Larry Nance, Jr. suffered a broken nose during practice Monday. It appears Julius Randle carried over some of that wrecking-ball momentum from his big game against the Mavericks, breaking Larry's nose, according to Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News.
It comes at an opportune time if only to drop this T-Rex photoshop that I happened to be making (apparently) while Julius was beating up on his own teammate:

Nance hasn't seen any burn yet during the regular season, and is probably even further back in the rotation than either Tarik Black or Robert Sacre this early in the process. No word on how this will change things up for Larry, but it hopefully won't be too much of a setback.
Stop hurting your own teammates now, Randle.
